Every day, at library time, Sarah Reid packs up a rolling container of books and makes the quarter-mile walk from the Broome County Public Library to the Binghamton City School District headquarters at the former Columbus School on Hawley Street.

Reid, the youth services librarian at the Broome County Public Library and an Owego resident, is doing her part to make sure displaced Calvin Coolidge Elementary School students can have a functioning library while officials clean up an asbestos issue in the Robinson Street school.
